RLogger Data Logging and Control System for NI Single-Board RIO

RLogger – Data Logging and Control System is an easy-to-use and intuitive software application for NI sbRIO. It is an off-the-shelf software tool designed for data acquisition, logging, control, and real-time viewing.

Combined with the NI sbRIO hardware it is an off-the-shelf solution to log and view in real-time signals from various sensors. The system is equipped also with digital and analog outputs allowing control of different actuators. Intuitive user interface allows to configure and run the system in minutes.

The software allows to combine data from different sensors creating virtual channels, create user defined triggers and alarms, log only required data using triggers, control analog outputs based on analog input signals using closed-loop-control, etc.

Real-time viewing screen allows users to view data as graphs or numerics and shows the latest alarms.

The data is logged in TDMS files and can be viewed using offline viewer.

RLogger for NI sbRIO has two suggested versions, standard and light. RLogger Light includes almost all features of the standard version, except virtual channels and trigger based control of analog/digital channels and logging.
